    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. For instance, tax evasion is an economic crime, and we need to give more powers to the EACC, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and the DCI to focus on cattle rustling and other crimes like banditry and robbery. Hon. Deputy Speaker, many cases have dragged on for many years in the Judiciary. People in this country have died after following cases in court for too many years. I support increasing the number of appellate judges to 70 or even more. If possible, we should have an appellate court in every county to fast-track cases. We would like to have a magistrates’ court in every constituency if possible. For instance, Elgeyo Marakwet County only has a Magistrate Court at the county headquarters. The four constituencies have no court. I want to support these amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party so that the operations and development of the Government agenda can move. It will also ensure that there is transparency and accountability in the Government. With those few remarks, I want to support."
